Sink repairs are frequently needed because of the constant use they face. Things like dropping glass bottles, pots, and pans can easily chip or crack your sink. Using abrasive cleaners or soaps can dull your sink’s surface, making it more prone to dirt build-up. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. All repairs are completed on-site, and a standard sink repair takes just 1-2 hours. Your sink will be ready to use within 24 hours after repair, saving you time and avoiding replacement costs. Repairing and resurfacing your sink is the most economical way to restore it to like-new condition without replacing it. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to your existing sink. This process must be done by eye on the day of your repair, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until I get an exact match to your sink. When the new paint isn’t a perfect match, the repair will be visible. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. Different manufacturers use different shades, and factors like the age of the sink, how much usage it’s had, and if it has been discoloured by chemicals or sunlight can all affect the final colour. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. When resurfacing your sink, I’ll apply a brilliant white coat to give it a brand-new appearance.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. I use only the highest quality bonder and enamel paint to ensure all repairs stand the test of time. I’ve relied on these materials for years, and they consistently create durable, top-quality repairs. By using low-cost materials, some companies risk failed repairs and poor results. I always provide a 12-month guarantee with my repairs, unless specifically stated otherwise.
The initial step in my sink repair process is to apply a unique bonder to the damaged area and then fill the damage. I colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. To ensure a flawless finish, I use a fine spray gun when applying the new surface, so the repair blends in perfectly.
The first step in any sink repair is assessing the damage to figure out the best solution. If there are just a few chips or scratches, then I can do a simple chip repair that only takes about 1-2 hours. If the damage is greater and covers a larger area of the sink, it would be best to resurface the whole sink. For a large crack or hole, I can repair it, but I might suggest replacing the sink due to potential structural issues. If I repair it in this situation, I can’t offer a guarantee. But rest assured, this is an unlikely worst-case scenario.
Typically, my sink repairs take only 1-2 hours to complete. This is much faster than the hassle of removing and replacing your sink. If you want to have your sink resurfaced, then this will take me a day to do, as I need to spend a lot of time masking off the rest of the room to protect it from overspray. Even so, this is still much faster and more affordable than replacing your sink. I have experience restoring antique sinks and resurfacing them to make them look brand new. Old antique sinks have beautiful details and features that are hard to find in modern models. If you need a sink restored or repaired, I’m here to help.
My repairs are always done to the highest standard, ensuring longevity and that they remain inconspicuous with regular use. While it’s possible to see something with a torch, it’s not common to use one when you’re using the sink as intended. A company that promises an invisible repair is likely not reputable, and they probably won’t be around for long.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
I’ve had customers ask if DIY Repair Kits would work for their sink repairs. The problem with DIY Repair Kits is that the materials are of poor quality, leading to a repair that won't last. Another problem is that the basic tinter included makes it difficult to achieve a true colour match. If you’re confident, you can certainly give it a try, but I’ll be here to do a professional repair whenever you need one.
How long will a sink repair last?
Each of my sink repairs is backed by a 12-month guarantee. Repairs should last as long as the sink itself, and in the unlikely case that one fails, it will occur within the first 12 months. I can’t offer a guarantee if there’s structural or extensive damage, and I’ll let you know before starting the repair. When this happens, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you want to keep your original sink, we can still help you repair it.
